Given that there are reports that the current actual number of merits given in the past months did not meet the expected merits for circulation, please let me propose an idea.

Give an incentive to the Merit Sources for them to be proactive in achieving their quota.

This will serve as a positive reinforcement to the Merit Sources to encourage them to attain the quota of number of merits for circulation for the month (or for a given period).

An incentive can be a form of payment (bitcoin?), special privilege (additional feature on their profile?), or anything that is beneficial to them.

What do you think?
